Dinosaur Hadrosaurus or Therizinosaurus egg fossil
Antonin posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Hello everyone, I have the opportunity to buy this set of 12 fossilised eggs. I shared several pictures. They seem perfectly real to me, but I would appreciate your expertise on authenticity! Thank you very much, Antonin [Seller verbiage removed] -
From the album: Aguja Formation
A very small tooth from a "baby" hadrosaurid. It has feeding wear, so clearly not embryonic.- 2 comments

From the album: Hell Creek / Lance Formations
A remarkable dental battery of the hadrosaurid dinosaur, Edmontosaurus annectens. Hadrosaurs had highly sophisticated teeth arranged in these batteries which advanced teeth in a conveyer-belt fashion to replace worn ones. Even the roots of teeth were used once the enameled crowns wore away. This one was in active use and fossilized when the animal died. This battery in particular is special, as it was collected by former forum member Troodon, seen in his "My Jurassic Park" thread here. It comes from a hadrosaur-dominated bone bed.-

Hey everyone I am preparing a rib from the Hell Creek formation it isn't in the greatest of shape and I still had a long way to go but wanted to start thinking about maybe trying restoration for the first time and wondering what you guys recommend. Here is the startand here is where I'm at right nowwith the right side there will need to be some fill to the missing bone. My question is though with the degree of curve on the right end do you think I'm close to the head and should try reconstructing the head? I could be looking at the curve wrong too and just have the bottom of the rib, either way though is there any method you guys use in reconstruction to get the bone texture? Thanks for the help I'll continue updating this as I get further into prepping it.

Hello everyone. I was wondering if anyone can confirm or deny my ID on this fossil. My father in law found this in Montana when he was 16 along with associated bones. Some of the bones have dissolution features on the surface, but this phalanx is in decent shape. I identified it as a hadrosaur assuming Cretaceous age, but don't have much information on where it came from. The proximal end of the bone shows a clear darkened band where cartilage was once present, but rotted off. The notch on the proximal end of the bone makes me question my original identification. The bone is good sized and the proximal end shows a bumpy texture which indicates the epiphyseal plate may have detached, though it's hard to say for sure given the clear dissolution features on the surface of some of the other bones .I've also included a photo of the end of what I'm thinking is a limb bone if that helps.

Found what I believe is a hadrosaur spit tooth as soon as I opened my bag of Aguja Formation micro matrix! Can anyone confirm?

From the album: Hell Creek Formation Microsite
Typical shed hadrosaurid (Edmontosaurus) teeth, a.k.a. "spitters." Most are river tumbled and missing their enamel. These teeth are quite common, as Edmontosaurus was abundant and regularly shed them from its arsenal of hundreds. A) teeth in occlusal view-

I am confused is the dental battery only in the lower mandible or is it in the maxilla as well?

Happy New Year everyone! Apparently I was good last year because I got gifted a blast cabinet and a mobile problast from vaniman which have been amazing. I made some mods to my hf cabinet that made it much more useful. I added a base frame and castors too it and changed the lighting to led bars which really improve the lighting. I also used some extra angle iron to the back to use as a mounting bracket for my magnifying lens. I also updated the switch to house some plugs. Here it is in all its glory. All in all I'm pretty happy with it the only thing I might do is cut the gloves out and use disposable gloves as the stock gloves are too large for my hand. Here is the air drying system that I put together I will definitely modify it in the future but it works great for now. For the first prep after a bit of practice I chose a fairly beat up Hadrosaur Chevron. It has a palm seed and a stick in the v that I though were pretty cool. There were definitely some mistakes but all in all I'm fairly happy with it. I'll probably go back and re-prep it later but for now I like it. Hope you enjoyed this and I can't wait to show you all the things I'll prep this year!

Howdy all, I've recently aquired a protohadros tooth and I've heard some people say that the genus is 95 million years old, and some who say it's 75 million years old. Which is the correct age?

Real or fake bargain hadrosaur egg
ruminate posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Came across with this cheap bargain hadrosaur egg, wondering if its actually a crushed egg or just rock and dirt concretion, the dealer gave me a video of it but im not sure if i can post it here so il just post the image. -
The seller said it is a complete unhatched egg from China. 5.5 inches long. It looks weird to me. A fake or something else? Thanks

Howdy all, This is supposedly a hadrosaur tooth from the Woodbine formation of Dallas Texas that I'm very interested in. (If you know you know) Do y'all think the ID is accurate?

Shown below are 3 different types of dinosaur eggshell, all said to be from the Gaugou Formation in China. The bottom left eggshell is labelled as coming from Dendroolithus, and I am confident in this identification. The other two types are supposed to come from Tarbosaurus bataar (top left) and Oviraptor philoceratops (right) however, and neither of these species are known from the Gaugou Formation, so the question is what they are actually from. Thanks in advance for any suggestions Othniel

HADROSAUR Egg (following guide and it looks real)
JJ Lavoie posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
So I was practicing looking for authentic Hadrosaur eggs after reading the how to spot a fake hadrosaur egg. Comparing it to real ones I’m thinking this is real. Am I correct in thinking this? If not I’d love to know what screams fake. What I see: Color seems right, pebbly texture on the shell, blemishes that don’t look painted, and cracks on the egg that are not shallow or drawn. Don’t look like the hollow fake ones that tend to hide most of the egg in matrix and look hatched or perfect.- 12 replies

Edmontosaurus tooth? (and question about replica Tarbosaurus claw)
Psittacosaur9 posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Hello everyone! I'm going to start posting fossils individually, to gain more traction on the forum. I'll post a few fossils I am worried are fake or composite today, then repost any fossils I have yet to receive identification for with higher-quality images in about a week. I bought this Edmontosaurus tooth fossil from a somewhat unreliable website online. Is it real? If any of you need more high quality photographs, please tell me. Also, as I don't know where else to post this, I purchased this Tarbosaurus claw replica a while ago. Do any of you know which digit it comes from? Thank you and hope you have a good day! -

Hello Good Folks from the Fossil Forum. We at Gofer Prospecting are precious Gemstones and Metals prospectors who have been tossed into fossils it seems! Started staking off a new acreage a few weeks back in S. Colorado and was surprised to see dinosaur eggs, Cretaceous Period! More looking showed us many fossils onsite! Hadrosaur is the best guess.
